Emaline is a miniature mohair artist bear. She is only 2 1/2" tall and was hand stitched. Her mohair was hand dyed and shaded. She is wearing a vintage lace skirt, a necklace made of vintage glass beads. She has glass eyes and an embroidered nose and mouth. Emaline has tiny stainless steel shot in her tummy to give her a little weight and to help her sit nicely. She is available in my Etsy shop.

I have 8" x 10" giclée art prints of the following paintings in my Etsy shop. "Elephant Showtime" is a mixed media acrylic painting with collage and color pencil.

Two new Ellifolks critters are now in my Etsy shop along with two new art prints.

Johnson, a mohair artist bear is hand dyed and hand shaded to give a rich, vintage coloring. I used a sparse mohair for Johnson to add to the vintage look and feel. He has one glass eye with a wool felt edging and one vintage shoe button eye ringed with a red embroidered circle. His circle nose is embroidered with pearl cotton thread. He is stuffed with excelsior and cotton batting.

Harriet Rabbit and Sam are a hand dyed and hand shaded pale pink rabbit and a hand dyed and hand shaded pale green chick both made of sparse German mohairs.

Harriet Rabbit is approximately 8" tall including ears and is cotter-pin jointed for a vintage feel. She is wearing a needle-felted purple polka dot hat with cotton lace trim. She has German glass eyes and a pearl cotton embroidered nose and mouth. She is stuffed with excelsior and cotton batting. She has steel shot in her tummy to give her a nice weight.

Sam Chick is approximately 4 1/4" tall including his purple glass bead legs and feet. He has a needle-felted comb and beak and German glass eyes. He is stuffed with excelsior.

"Boy With Dog" is a fine art giclée print of one of my original color pencil and digital paintings. I did a drawing with color pencils and then scanned it into my computer. I colored it in Procreate using many layers and types of digital brushes.

"Girl With Poodle and Flowers" is a fine art giclée print of one of my original mixed media/acrylic paintings. This was painted on a cradled wood panel. I started with a very textured layer of gesso and incorporated the texture into the painting. I also used pencil and color pencils in the painting.

"Sail" is a digital painting I made in Illustrator. I like the combination of the clean, flat shapes with gradient color.

Here is Remy, my preview bear. He is a OOAK (one of a kind) 6 1/4" tall jointed bear and is made of Schulte mohair that I hand dyed. You can vote for him or any of the other preview bears as your favorite here.

In the last few months, I have gotten three new teddies for my teddy collection. Most of my small collection is artist bears.

This teddy came from Japan and is by Rutsu. She has small, wonderful mohair teddies with a vintage look.

This teddy came from Russia and is by Natalia Tolstykina. She has a blog here that you can translate automatically into English. The teddy is made of vintage rayon and is quite heavy. I love the unique face and all the handwork on this bear.

The third teddy is by an internet teddy friend here in the U.S., Sharie Reetz. Her website is here, and you will also find links to her blog there. Her little mohair bears are brimming with character and are so endearing.
